It radiates the heat out in the atmosphere into outer space
Well alrighty then.

Why take a shot at the power companies? Likely they’d find a way to make money out of this themselves! I hope it’s a genuine breakthrough. It’s Al Gore who’d hate this, because it aims warmth back out of the atmosphere!

Sounds like a technological solution for any supposed “Global Warming”. Chalk another one up to Technology.

Isn’t outer space actually beyond the atmosphere?

Sounds as if this is designed not only to cool the house, but to cool the planet to some degree. I’m not sure if that’s such a good idea.
Having a reflective roof makes good sense in the summer. But does it need to send the warmth back into outer space?
Maybe so, but I’d like to see a little more explanation of that aspect. Is there a touch of global warming fear there?

What about the space warming that will take place and alter the universe? Could be bad.

It sounds great but at 100 watts per square meter it would require a great deal of area.

I suspect it’s a scam. A simple Mirror will reflect back sunlight but it won’t make the house any cooler than the temperature of the air.

The three-member team recently published its findings, and hopes to roll out an experimental prototype within a few months. Theyve spent a year doing extensive simulations and theoretical calculations.
So, they're selling math?
Good work if you can get it . . .

Arab architects - before they went insane with islam and mosques and general gaga bs, were very adept at using natural cooling techniques.

Well you’ll still need a way to dehumidify to house air. 70 degrees at 100% humidity is not comfortable unless you like saunas. Remember as the temp drops the RH% will go up until you have every cool surface in your house sweating including you and mold and mildew everywhere..

I bet pilots are going to love flying around looking down at a vast sea of mirrors reflecting the sun right back at them.
They will pine for the days of the occasional idiot with his laser pointer.

Same principle that puts frost on the ground when the air is above freezing. Space is ccccccold, and the ground radiates its heat to space (on a clear night). No reason the same can’t happen in the day.
